Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 ½ cups white rum
- 1 cup fresh lime juice (about 8–10 limes)
- ¾ cup simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, dissolved)
- 5 cups crushed ice
- Optional: fresh mint leaves or lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse and hull about 4 cups of fresh strawberries. Cut them in halves or quarters if large.
- Roll limes firmly on the counter, then cut and juice enough to get 1 cup of fresh lime juice. Strain out seeds.
- Make simple syrup by combining equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat gently until sugar dissolves completely, then cool.
- In a blender, add strawberries, white rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and crushed ice. Blend on high until smooth and slushy. Adjust consistency by adding water or more ice as needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more simple syrup or lime juice if necessary.
- Pour the blended mixture into a large pitcher or beverage dispenser. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or lime slices if desired. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
- Serve in festive glasses or clear cups with a straw and optional strawberry garnish on the rim.
Notes
Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. If making ahead, blend strawberry and lime mixture without ice and freeze; blend again with ice and rum before serving. Adjust ice quantity gradually to avoid watery texture. Keep pitcher chilled in a bowl of ice during serving to maintain temperature without dilution.
